My main advice: CALL ABANTI FIRST. Period. Full stop…read more Sometimes they're busy--but that's how it goes. Do you want the work done right? I do. I'm a bit confused by the negative reviews--I know that you're probably already stressed and grumpy if you need to call a plumber. But I really wish those people took a breath before posting those. I decided to sit down and write this review only because I wanted to support a local business that has always been reliable and fairly priced. We have a persistent issue with tree roots growing into sewage line, and they have been lifesavers. But we've called them for all sorts of things. I have called them AT LEAST once per year for the past 10 YEARS, and they have always been the best. Sometimes their waitlist is longer than usual--but that's just how it goes. Today they fixed 2 faucets and cleared a bathtub clog for SIGNIFICANTLY less than the 2 other companies I've had to use in the recent past (when Abanti was backed up).

Technician Fred (Abante): rude fellow with poor knowledge. This time we had a back up in the…read moresystem, but could not be in person present during Fed's visit. So, he left the service incomplete - removed the roots ( he claims) but did not run the camera, so it is still unclear if there is a damage in the pipe. Instead of running the camera, Fred demands that we have him do the rooting every 6 months! It is absurd - over the last 15 years, the system needed snaking only twice: removing roots ca 2012, and removing a deep-sitting hairball in 2023. Last check up was in Aug 2024, and everything was fine with the system. Fred charged $395 just to run a snake tool! Very unsatisfactory service. The company was better before, but now, go with somebody else.

Peques plumbing is great !!! Alejandro is an awesome guy…read more Intially we contacted him for gas pipe line installation for our kitchen. His response was very prompt and he showed up on time. But later it was identified there is an emergency with our main water supply. Our cold water supply line was leaking and we had puddles of water in our basement. He gave us a reasonable quote for copper plumbing. He along with another person started the work next day. They worked dedicatedly from morning 9:00 am. He went above and beyond and stredtched till 8:00 pm in the night and fixed most of the plumbing on day one. They again came next day at 9:00 am sharp and completed the work by late afternoon. He fixed all of the galvanised plumbing to copper. Also made sure that no water is leaking and pressure is fine thru out the house. He has cut open the sheet rock in garage and did a good job in fixing it up with new sheet rock. Overall, they did a gr8 job. From now on Peques plumbing will be my go to for any plumbing issues. Now we are looking forward to work with him for the gas pipe line installation. I will update the review once the gas work is also done. I am positive that this gas work will also be as perfect as plumbing.

The 65 year old galvanized water main coming into our house has been flaking off alarmingly large…read moreflakes of rust. We figured it would be best to replace it now than to wait for it to rupture. When I called around, I asked for the two things specifically: 1. I want this job to be permitted. 2. I want to replace the old galvanized with 1" type K copper, which is almost 50% thicker than standard type L - overkill for sure. I got a couple quotes, and Alejandro's was very competitive. The kicker was that he is also licensed and insured, beating out the price for some of the less legitimate plumbers on Yelp. Most plumbers I spoke tried to talk me out of the 1" type K. Alejandro did mention that type L was perfectly fine, but did not give me any resistance on the type K. While I'm sure most of the licensed plumbers will do permit work, most try to talk me out of it ("Ah, you don't need it!" or "This is simple, we do everything to code!"). With Alejandro, he said no problem. Easy as that! Once the permit was ready, we scheduled the work to be done two days later. He came with another guy (didn't catch his name!) and they went at it. The job took about five hours, with a small lunch break. The job involved digging 25' of hard clay 18" down, removing the old crusty pipe, and running pipe under one sidewalk. They kept everything clean, stacking the clay soil onto tarps, and sweeping up after themselves. The next day, we passed the intermediate inspection with no problems. Alejandro and his partner buried the pipe, caulked the penetration to the house, and hosed off all the dirt on our walkways. Final inspections were the next day, and we passed with no issues. Overall, Alejandro did an awesome job. He was communicative, straightforward, patient, and totally honest. He came on time on all occasions (initial estimate, the main work, and the post inspection work), and always replied to my texts. The permit process was a huge pain, but there were no complaints from him. I could tell he really cared about his work. I try to be handy around the house and do my own work, but I definitely know who to call in the future when a job is over my head!

Big Blue wanted to charge $12,500 and charged for the initial visit. Their bid broke down at $800 an hour for labor. $450 for a pipe stem under the kitchen sink? These cost $35.00 at Home Depot. I get mark up, but please. Danny from King King did it for $2,700 and did not charge for the initial visit. Great guy. I just had him back for another visit today.

CI'm really glad I chose these guys to repipe my house. My pest company told me they found water…read morepuddles under my home. I called a few different plumbers, but Jordan at Bay Area Repipe was the only one able to make it out to us that afternoon. The guy went under our house and took a bunch of pictures then came out and showed us the same rusty leaking water pipes the pest guy showed us. We decided it was probably best to replace them, and got a couple of other quotes, but these guys were definitely the best price and they were the only plumbers offering to get the whole thing done in one day. They arrived early in the morning with a bunch of drop cloths and covered darn near everything to keep my house clean. The floors, couches, tables, chairs, etc. I think they did a really good job! They finished the whole thing that same day and the inspector was out the next day to take a look. He came out from under the house with nothing but good things to say. I figured they knew what they were doing, but I didn't think my faucets and showers would be so nice now. They have so much more pressure it's like I have new bathrooms, and the kitchen faucet finally has hot water again. If you're looking for a repipe, for sure call Bay Area Repipe for a quote. They did a great job with my pex repipe, and they were all very nice too.

I'm a realtor in Southern California, and I recently had a client close on a property in…read moreSacramento. The property had defective Kitec plumbing which needed to be replaced as part of the contingency with this sale. I contacted Mark at Bay Area Repipe, at the recommendation of the seller's agent, who had used the firm in the past. I received a timely estimate and after calling some others who do the same work in the area, Bay Area Repipe's proposal was by far the most thorough and also represented best value for my client. Work was scheduled & completed on schedule and on budget, and my client couldn't be happier. This was not a small job and the crew completed the plumbing work in just ONE DAY, with all the sheetrock patched up over the following days. Thank you Mark & Bay Area Repipe for a exceptional job and making this transaction go off without a hitch for my buyer.

He was highly recommended by my neighbors and friends and didn't disappoint. The faucet is something that when I showed it to Ashby Plumbing, I was told that I should go to Sink Factory to get repaired. And, because I'm no plumber I was insecure venturing into disconnecting a part that was expensive to replace at equal quality. Jesse came by and in the matter of about 90 minutes with a quick run to the hardware store or his clearly extensive Arsenal of tools and resource to fix antiques and hard to fix items without having to spend a fortune.

His team was extremely detailed and the project lead Hector took great care to understand our preference for how to run the supply lines and disguise them for aesthetics. They were able to finish the install of an exterior heat pump and three separate indoor units in only two days. Everything is working perfectly and they did well to make the equipment look about as unobtrusive as it possibly can. I would recommend Daniel and his crew to anyone looking for help with a heat pump install.
